Usual school day. I've been working on the kernel RPM for Conectiva Linux 5.1 this afternoon. Almost finished the update 2.2.15 RPM for other distribution versions. Cleaned the two HA machines and my two test machines _and_ my table. Now with two 2-box clusters we can test HA stuff without screaming "Hey, anyone using the machines?" all the time. Added 512mb of memory to plucky (it had 64mb). Unfortunately one 256mb chip was broken. Tomorrow 1 gig should be arriving so Rik can test his VM stuff with highmem.

<diary lame> The previous diary entry is for 9 April 2000 </diary lame> Woke up 6:10 with Rik making the sound explode with Jimi Hendrix. Went to school, everything proceeded as always there. In the afternoon i found one SMP bug in drbd and now it seems to be SMP safe. Applied the yesterday patch to drbd-CVS, modified it a bit and sent both patches to Philipp. Started to apply by hand my heartbeat per-link status patch against heartbeat-CVS. I will finish this tomorrow, along with more changes i have in mind.

Woke up 8:00, read email and found a bug in the drbd timeout handlers. Around 13:00 walked with Rik to a churrascaria near here. Damn sun. The meat paradise was completly busy, though we dont had to way more than 5min. After meat and a nbd-over swap talk with Rik we came back walking. Fucking sun. Watched "Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii" video again, those guys are good. Walked a bit throught the garden (its almost a jungle) in the back of my house. Fixed the bug i found in the morning, sent the patch to Philipp, and slept.

Woke up 8:00, jumped into my father's car and slept there until 9:30 when we arrived at my family's farm. Then i went to the farm house and slept until 12:00. Woke up again, ate a pile of (excellent) meat (churrasco) and helped some guys removing rocks from a water fountain to do an artificial lake there (this one is going to be cool when ready). After that, me and Rik started to "climb" (40 degrees) a big mountain (for .br padrons). The sun was a pain in the ass. After around 3 hours we returned (almost dead) and i had the stupid idea of showing Rik raw jungle. After around 200m throught it and 10 spider web's in my face, we got stuck and had to return. Came back home, wrote my diary and kissed the bed.
